HOW’S THE MARKET?

National real estate stats do not always reflect your local market! The September 2022 market in the Top 7 north Atlanta suburbs was all about supply and demand, interest rates, and home equity. It was a month of market transition and normalization.

The previous half-year of 20% plus price appreciation slowed to 16% which felt like depreciation to sellers who had entered the market with lofty expectations. While buyers were relieved to retrieve some of their power in the market, they were also hit with rising interest rates which certainly dulled their victory. But if you want to know the true net effect, watch the full video.
